Some marathoners aren’t taking no for an answer. Despite the annual New York City marathon’s cancellation Friday, a handful of participants said they will put their months of training to good use and will still follow the marathon’s route. One runner and his friends started a Facebook event encouraging others to “run it anyway for ourselves ... The show must go on.” Before you judge, he is also planning to volunteer for storm-cleanup efforts.
